You heard it here first folks! This is what I’ve been slaving over, arts administrator hat squarely on, for the past week. Tons more work but I’m over the hump. In addition to these screenings, there will be an Opening Reception Friday night, a panel Saturday afternoon with Canadian videopoem pioneer Tom Konyves, poet, publisher, videographer and past curator of the Vancouver Videopoem Festival Warren Dean Fulton and from Chicago, Kurt Heintz, writer, new media artist and director of e-poets.net. A moderator and another panelist are in the works. Then an after party Saturday night, probably at the hotel across the street.
